I placed a bet once on a horse
I can't forget that day
Put my last two bucks on the mare named Luck
She ran the other way
I love my banjolele
My ukulanjolele
I love to play it daily
It's always out of tune
Seems every time I take a walk
I get lost in the park
So I eat nothing but garlic now
You can find me in the dark
I'll be playing my banjolele
My ukulanjolele
I love to play it daily
It's always out of tune
It's twelve o'clock, I'm trying to sleep
The neighbors are watching TV
The blue light blinking through my windowpane
And the noise don't bother me
I'll just play my banjolele
My ukulanjolele
I love to play it daily
It's always out of tune
To the fella who took my bike
I hope that you enjoy it
you can ride it if you like
but please do not destroy it
I love my banjolele
My ukulanjolele
I love to play it daily
It's always out of tune
Some days are bad, some are worse
Most are simply terrible
There's one thing I like to sing
To make them somewhat bearable
I love my banjolele
My ukulanjolele
I love to play it daily
It's always out of tune
